Tahun 2009 ini, seperti apa yang pernah diperbincangkan dengan sdr.owi , adalah tahun dengan rilisan-rilisan yang ditunggu-tunggu dari band-band terbaik. Salahsatu yang terbaik itu adalah , Mono, band instrumen/postrock asal Tokyo, Jepang yang sempat berkunjung ke Jakarta dalam konser Jakarta Rock Parade (Hell no! detik-detik akhir menjelang konser, panitia menurunkan harga tiket , and damn! gw ga nonton aksi Mono di Jakarta!)
Album ke-5 dari Mono sendiri menurut rencana akan dilepas pada bulan Maret 2009 ini, dengan judul album Hymn to the Immortal Wind, pengumuman resminya sudah dipasang di web atau myspace lengkap dengan sample lagu "Ashes In The Snow" yang dapat diunduh gratis demi memuaskan rasa penasaran fans.

Tidak berlebihan jika saya menganggap Ghaust merupakan band pertama di Indonesia yang mengusung genre post-metal hingga merilis sebuah album. Ghaust terdiri dari Uri A.Putra (gitar+bass) dan M.Edward (drum). Keduanya bertanggungjawab dalam keterlibatannya membidani sebuah genre baru, scene perpostmetalan di Indonesia. Negeri yang melayu ini. Walaupun akar bermusik mereka adalah rock. Namun yang menjadi sedikit beda (dan sesuatu yang baru di Indonesia) adalah keputusan mereka untuk bermetal tanpa suara vokal, tanpa raungan vokalis.

January 29th, 2009 by Aulia Ibrahim Yeru Pulang menjelang fajar. menyalakan komputer, putar lagu, mendengar lagu yang cukup sinis. Tidak bermaksud menghakimi, karena banyak sudut pandang atas persoalan ini. Lagu yang cukup baik dari The Panasdalam, judulnya “Mars Mahasiswa Indonesia”. Liriknya mungkin ada yang salah, tapi seingat saya sih begini, kalo ada yang salah silahkan koreksi ya!

January 28th, 2009 by metallurgistguy January 28th, 2009 by Leksa Barack Obama telah menjadi presiden United States. Dan banyak orang menaruh harap kepada lelaki ini. Entah itu dari warga Amerika (pendukung, simpatisan hingga warga bukan pendukungnya), atau dari luar Amerika. Bukan tanpa alasan. Banyak orang berdebat soal latar belakangnya yang diharapkan mampu memahami dampak politik global di dunia ketiga. Ditambah lagi janji-janji kampanyenya, menyuarakan sebuah nilai-nilai persamaan hak untuk semua bangsa dan juga manusia.
Itu adalah sebuah kesimpulan singkat di awal. Awal sekali bahkan, karena Obama saja baru dilantik beberapa saat lalu - grogi mengucapkan sumpah presidennya.
Janji terucap. Janji itu seperti sebuah rencana. Janji adalah sebuah ide yang ditawarkan. Dan ide serta rencana membutuhkan sebuah pelaksanaan. Tanpa pelaksanaan, sebuah janji bagaikan aplikasi yang gagal diwujudkan.
Bagaimana dengan Obama? Paling tidak saya melihat ada janji yang sudah dia coba untuk bangun aplikasinya.
“Participation — President Obama started his career as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago, where he saw firsthand what people can do when they come together for a common cause. Citizen participation will be a priority for the Administration, and the internet will play an important role in that. One significant addition to WhiteHouse.gov reflects a campaign promise from the President: we will publish all non-emergency legislation to the website for five days, and allow the public to review and comment before the President signs it.” - Change has come to WhiteHouse.gov - whitehouse.gov
Sebuah penggalan dari tulisan blog pertama di situs gedung putih yang baru. Saya tidak tahu, apakah ini bisa disamakan dengan situs serupa di tanah air ini. Tapi yang pasti statement itu adalah lompatan selangkah dari janji yang ditawarkan Obama ketika kampanye. Dia mencoba meng-aplikasi-kan janjinya dengan caranya.
Ke depannya akan banyak janji-janji serupa hadir di Indonesia, dalam beberapa hari lagi. Mungkin sudah dimulai sejak beberapa bulan lalu. Mungkin para pembuat janji negeri ini meniru Obama untuk membuat janji-janji. Tapi yang jadi masalah, seberapa sanggup mereka meniru Obama untuk menerapkan janji-janjinya.
Berjanji itu mudah, namun melaksanakan janji itu tidak gampang. Saya paham bahwa menjadi ingkar itu bukanlah hal yang sulit. Dan rasanya tidak menyenangkan.

Tenang aja, ular-ular kobra di SIberut belum berhasil mencaplok gua kok. Jadi kesimpulannya saya masih hidup, karena kalo saya udah mati tercaplok ular kobra, lalu yang menulis postingan ini adalah hantu.
Eh iyah, tadi saya makan di Waroeng Steak and Shake loh. Ini pertama kalinya, hohohoho… Saya emang cupu, soalnya kalo beli steak selalu ke Javan, Suis Butcher, atau Double Steak. Itu uga tadi ditraktir sama Anna yang lagi berbahagia ngerayain ulang taun.
Udah dulu ah. Orang yang lagi naik motor di belakang udah marah2 nih.
January 27th, 2009 by Wijayanto Budi Experiencing Chinese new year holiday in couple days makes me believe what people told about this town turning into silent, is true. At last Sunday, I was disappointed by two big stores which I usually go to in purpose to stock foods and daily needs. Because as everybody advised, we need to stock our foods when the holiday comes since it will be hard to find restaurants either stores which keep open. So I went out of my room at 6 o’clock in the evening and planned to obey their advise. Without forgetting to put my bag with two shopping-handy bag. I had bad feeling when I came out. I could not see anybody until I saw the highway near my dorm. It was a good place to make horror movie at that time. The environment would support the setting which is needed. Thus, this feeling directed me into a prejudice if those two stores would be closed. But I did not believe it, I wanted a proof.
Waiting for the bus at the bus stop, started staring surround. So quiet, or maybe too quiet. Even some stores still opened, but the number of people were extremely reduced. Hmmm… maybe around one-fourth were remained. Similar scheme inside the bus, many seats unoccupied, and very spacious. When I arrived, what my feeling predicted before was correct. The Geant store was closed. I thought because this store is rather big, therefore it might be open. Then I realized if I was not cleverer than a donkey who never fell twice. Stick on my plan to go to another store. I took MRT to go to Xiaonanmen station, the nearer station to reach my second destination. Inside MRT was like the situation in the bus, you can move from seat to seat along your way. Believe it or not, when I arrived at Xiaonanmen MRT station, there were only two people. The station officer and I. It reminds me a half year ago when I watched Kungfu Panda movie at Blitz PVJ. There were only two people inside the studio. Or three perhaps. The man who checked the ticket, the man who run the film, and the one and only viewer, the owner of this blog. Only one seat occupied, the rest were empty. Still wondering what their management was thinking to keep the movie played even nobody expects to watch it longer.
at Xiaonanmen MRT Station
In front of station’s gate, after took few steps I could see the store directly. The second big store named Jia-Le-Fu aka Carrefour, was also closed. Before, I argued if it wont be too late to go there that night, because the national holiday would begin at Monday. But the reality sometimes bitter, it does not suit with what you thought. Later, for some matters, I have to entrust my feeling instead of my curiosity. Luckily, another mini market near my campus kept open. Altough not as complete as those two, I still could find what I needed. Put some vegetables, fruits, spices, squid, etc. to the basket. I will have experiments in my room, that was I thought. Beef soup, squid with oyster sauce, and beef curry, are the list of menu which I would like to make. At this kind of cold weather, to go out of my room is the last option to be picked. Cooking while watching Australian Open is a perfect match to do in this whole week. I can see and hear the crowd of supporters at Melbourne on my laptop. Coz nobody wants to be lonely, right?
And yesterday, I had no choice left beside to bury my dream deeply. Nightmare had come. The second rice cooker which I bought at the beginning of this semester, was broken.
Well, at least I still can enjoy the game, enjoy the play of the magnificent tennis players over the world. What I regret up to now is, no more beautiful women players can be watched. I just hope those two prodigy of recent tennis era, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer, will meet (again) at the top stage of the tournament. A classic match.
January 27th, 2009 by Edwards Dari film Apocalypto yang saya tonton sekitar 2 tahun lalu …
Film ini berkisah tentang satu suku “Indian” Amerika Tengah. Kisah berikut merupakan cerita dari seorang tetua suku “Indian” tersebut kepada rakyatnya:
And a man sat alone, drenched deep in sadness. And all the animals drew near to him and said “We do not like to see you sad. Ask us whatever you wish and you shall have it.”
The man said: “I want to have good sight,” the Vulture said “You shall have mine!”
The man said: “I want to be strong,” the Jaguar said “You shall be strong like me!”
Then the man said “I long to know the secret of the earth,” the Serpent replied “I will show them to you!”
And so it went with all the animals, and when the man had all the gifts that they could give, he left. Then the owl said to the other animals, “Now the man knows much and is able to do many things. Suddenly I am afraid.” The deer said “The man has all that he needs. Now his sadness will stop.”
But the Owl replied: “No! I saw a hole in the man, deep like a hunger he will never fill. It is what makes him sad and what makes him want. He will go on taking and taking until one day the world will say “I am no more and I have nothing left to give …”
Yah … Inilah manusia …

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE. Film India ini baru saja memenangkan Golden Globe 2009 kategori Best Picture - Drama. Jarang-jarang saya mau menonton film India (Bolywood) karena biasanya ceritanya monoton dan agak norak. Makanya, setelah tahu bahwa film ini memenangi Golden Globe, saya jadi penasaran untuk menontonnya guna mencari tahu apa yang spesial dari film ini. Oya, ternyata "Slumdog Millionaire" ini merupakan film Inggris, yang disutradarai oleh Danny Boyle & Loveleen Tandan, yang mengambil setting keseluruhan film di India. Jadi, mungkin wajar kalau auranya berbeda dengan film Bolywood pada umumnya :).
